Ghostface Killah News

Music lovers everywhere, we are in new, unfamiliar territory– there is a new global music release day! No longer is Tuesday THE new music day, *sigh. The new global music release day that has been adopted is now Friday – that’s right, go on and crank up Rebecca Black. So those of you who anticipate spending your hard earned money to enhance you music collections on Tuesdays will now have to get use to shopping on Friday.

Now the question is, will Friday’s releases be worthwhile? Well, there’s a lack of big names/highly anticipated releases you might say. Is there a reason for this? May...

It’s another new week and you know what that means? New music releases to infuse life into the Billboard 200 of course! Last week, a lift to the charts itself came by way of Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late and the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack. As far as new album releases, the crown jewel from last week came courtesy of Imagine Dragons’ sophomore album, Smoke and Mirrors. Who’s the crown jewel of this week’s new releases? How about I.D.F.W.U. MC Big Sean, who drops Dark Sky Paradise? Here are six new albums to check out this week!

All nine members of The Wu-Tang Clan (and a shirt commemorating the deceased Ol' Dirty Bastard) reunited for a rare television appearance last night on The Daily Show.

To promote their upcoming album A Better Tomorrow and their 20th anniversary, Method Man, Inspectah Deck, Ghostface Killah, GZA, and RZA rapped along with the rest of the group members for the song Ron O'Neal, which was released that night on iTunes as the album's first single.

Even Raekwon was there, despite having no verses in the tune and openly explaining his issues with the group's direction on the upcoming album. He...

Kim Kardashian's boyfriend Kanye West dropped a new song from his upcoming album at Sunday night's BET Awards where the rapper won "Best Group" and "Video Of The Year" awards with Jay-Z under the name The Throne.

West's new track "New God Flow" features Pusha T. The song contains a sample from Ghostface Killah's "Mighty Healthy." Some of the lyrics include: "I believe there's a God above me, I'm just the God of everything else/ I put holes in everything else, new God flow, f--- everything else,"

According to MTV, the track references his drug-dealing past, vacations to Ibiza and exotic ...

Rapper Ghostface Killah is set to release his own line of skateboards.

The Wu-Tang Clan star has teamed up with Marvel Comics cover artist Mike del Mundo for the project, and together the two will create a limited-edition line of decks and T-shirts.

And the hit-maker, real name Dennis Coles, is excited about the new business venture, telling AllHipHop.com, "This is for my real Hip-Hop skate fans and for my GFK-loyals that don't skate but is (sic) feeling the design."

Rapper Ghostface Killah is facing legal action over allegations he illegally sampled the original theme song to Iron Man on his 2000 album.

Hollywood songwriter Jaques Urbont claims he is the exclusive owner of Iron Man Theme, a tune he composed in 1966 for use on TV, and he has accused the Wu-Tang Clan star of using the track without permission on his Supreme Clientele release.

Urbont filed suit in the U.S. District Court in New York on June 30th and names Ghostface, producer RZA and Razor Sharp Records and Sony Records as defendants.

Wu-Tang Clan rapper RZA has threatened legal action against The Game in a dispute over a song.

Lawyers representing RZA - real name Robert Diggs - have sent a cease-and-desist letter to the star over a track called Heartbreaker, which RZA produced for The Game's R.E.D album.

The pair was unable to gain permission to use a sample featured in the song and it was removed from the record, although The Game is said to have included it on his Purp & Patron mix tape - which has apparently angered RZA.

The Game tells Hiphopdx.com, "I think RZA (is) tryin' to sue about (Heartbreaker) or somethi...

UK sensation Estelle has been dubbed John Legend's protégé. She's been compared to Lauryn Hill and has collaborated with a number of great artists (Kanye West, Swizz Beatz, Wyclef Jean, Will.i.am, Mark Ronson and Cee-lo & Jack Splash) to come up with an amazing album called "Shine," which drops in the states tomorrow.

This 28-year-old dynamo is one artist who is comfortable in her own skin. She is willing to take risks to further her career, which characterizes an extreme sense of self-determination that cannot be ignored. Being the first artist to be signed to John Legend's new lab...

"When you get a new Ghostface Killah album, the only reasonable reaction is to get lost in it," said the New York Times of Ghost's last full studio album, '06's instant classic Fishscale. And with the December '06 release of More Fish and Ghost's near-constant touring in '07, his legions of fans have been happily lost in the 'World According To Pretty Toney.' Now, with a new Def Jam album - The Big Doe Rehab - set for release on December 4th, his current tour with Rakim, and a coffee-table book set for release on January 8th through MTV Press, the devoted will be positively delirious.

Born and raised in the notorious Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, Papoose took his first jabs at being a rapper at the young age of 11. Given the name by his grandmother meaning "Indian baby", whom he resembled as a child, Papoose is the true definition of a real MC. Inspired by rap legends Rakim, Kool-G-Rap and Big Daddy Kane, he has been well respected in the underground street circuit for a long period of time now. Papoose has survived the trappings and politics of the rap industry, which uses gimmicks as well as fake street and jail images to sell records and destroy the essenc...

From Arctic Monkeys to Zutons to Britney's divorce to the most overplayed song of the year (hint: it's not James Blunt's You're Beautiful), 2006 was unmatched in musical diversity. There were albums we didn't even realize came out and artists we didn't even realize were still around. There were reunions and breakups too. Here's a brief summary of 2006: The Year in Music...

The new year kicked off somewhat quietly; however, it was the debut album, Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, from the Arctic Monkeys, the band that U.S. critics bashed despite storming to the top of the...

With his signature gold eagle cuff and oversized medallions, his impeccable collection of robes, his Mexican wrestling masks and his infamous alter ego - Tony Starks a.k.a.
